Abstract

This research looks at eco-translation as a pillar of translation competence, as well as the design of teaching materials for translation courses. Unsolved issues in translator education programs include producing students with well-rounded translators who possess both translation (hard skills) and skilled translator competence (soft skills). The majority of universities that offer translator training programs place a strong emphasis on translation skills. To evaluate results, this study used a case study with a qualitative approach. This study, which took place in Malang, Indonesia, included four universities, 12 lecturers, and 80 students as participants. Observation, interviews, and paper reviews were used to gather information. The key data analysis approach was content analysis. The findings indicate that translation competence is primarily acquired by linguistics knowledge. However, in practice, translation hard skills and soft skills must be refined in a social setting where the environment and social context are the most competent. Eco-translation satisfies the requirements in this way. Eco-translation has been shown to meet the needs of course design and teaching methods in translation for teaching. © 2021.
